That's fantastic! Your team works fast I am done with pre-op testing and just need my final doc visit!!! Then 2 weeks liquid and Protein shakes. I'm getting so anxious, but in a good way! I want to get started instead if just talking about it. Good luck to you with everything & I'm sure we will meet on here again. We are being banded around the same time. :) Hurray!

Great news! I had to attend a weight reduction seminar by my doctor, and a dietian weight seminar spaced 1 month apart, plus a Physc evaluation as well as the lab tests.

Congratulations! Banded Aug 6.

I, too, had my pre-ops. One more weigh-in, consents and, of course, insurance approval to go!!

We are getting so close everyone!!!

I wanted to post yesterday once I got home but my computer monitor Is on the fritz, and I want feeling so good after the upper gi. Ask the testing went fine but I have to say having the upper gI was the worse part. Those things they make you drink should be outlawed. They are awful too say the least. I'm glad that's behind me. I'm waiting for thursday to meet with the surgeon one last time before surgery. I'll keep you posted.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
